Mom's Lovely Day

There she was again In their living room A woman racked with pain and shivering Impending doom Clench your teeth in rage That knot in your chest It hurts to see the selfish and the poor Such hopelessness So much work to do Neck is hurting you You have to drag your body to do another thing Not fair, but true I just want to quit Told myself the lie Frustration runs my life and keeps on closing in I want to cry Stress is eating me No one understands I lie awake in bed and struggle to forget Or make funeral plans
